Thought this was mildly interesting. Chicago is ever so slightly in the western half population-wise.

I fell asleep at 7:30 last night, it wasn’t meant to be all night. Slept for 14 hours. Wish I could tell you I woke up feeling well rested.

I haven’t slept through the night since the 1980s so I envy you your long sleep. Four hours straight is my max.

Don’t envy it! I have hypersomnia, which can be a real curse. I’m never not tired.

Sorry to hear that.

Have you sought medical treatment for that?

I have a relative with narcolepsy. There are medications that can help.

To me, narcolepsy seems a little similar to diabetes. The body loses it’s ability to properly make & maintain a hormone called orexin (~insulin) and the person must learn to adapt to life without it.

Modafinil?

I use it from time to time when I get little sleep.

That’s one. There are others.

I don’t really know what heartburn feels like because I’ve only gotten it a handful of times before. But I think I have it now.

Be interesting to also include “total land area” (or population density per sq. mi.) with these graphs.

My exposure to British TV is paying dividends, I recognized both celebrity pictures in the tube. Harry Redknapp was on I’m a Celebrity a few years ago and Diane Morgan aka Philomena Cunk.

The line heads towards … Cockfosters. Snigger

Off to Cambridge…

I’m on a train to York in first class and I have a breakfast coming to me and the guy asks me if I want red sauce or brown sauce and I looked befuddled so he says I’ll give you one of each. It turns out I knew what both of them would be but it’s my first time having HP sauce major bucket list item :slight_smile:

How did you miss that in your UK travels?

What was for breakfast?

beans on toast?

I’ve also never had it despite being in the UK twice. We have a local European-themed market that carries it, maybe I’ll have a go.

One friend egg, one sausage, two bacon (American bacon pales in comparison), potatoes. Skipped the mushroom, beans, and black pudding.

HP sauce is not too far from ketchup but I could quite figure out how to describe the difference.

I always thought it had a plummy taste, although it does not contain any plum.
